SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 539,691, dated May-21,1895.

Application filed September 17, 1894. Serial No. 2 ,2 4 modem To aZZwhom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, SERVAIS LEBE and JONAS HALEY, subjects of HerMajesty the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Oleckheaton, in thecounty of York, England, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovement in Oarding-Engines, of which the following is aspecification.

Our invention relates to improvements in scribblers or carding enginesemployed in carding wool and other fibers, the object being to obtain agreater working surface on each cylinder whereby a greater amount ofWork is done, and a better and stronger yarn produced with less workthan heretofore, and this is achieved by a combination of a chain ofcard covered flats or an endless sheet of cards with the main cylinderand a series of regulating card covered rollers, strippers, clearers,and taking in roller.

Our invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which is aside elevation of a part of a carding-engine or scribbler having ourimprovement applied thereto.

According to this invention we employ in connection with each maincylinder 1 a taking in roller 2 and clearer 3 and a chain of cardcovered flats 4 or an endless sheet of cards driven by any of theordinary and well Scribbler.

the fiber is advantageous though the nicety 5o 7 required in the cardingengine is not necessary in the scribbler.

By the use of the improvements as herein set forth, a greater workingsurface is obtained on each cylinder and fewer rollers are employed.

What we claim is- In combination, a main cylinder 1, an endless sheet orbelt of cards 4, covering a portion of same, a stripper 5, for removingthe fiber from the sheet or belt 4, a receiving roller 6, for taking thefiber from the stripper and laying it on the cylinder, the card coveredregulating rollers 7, for insuring regularity in the fiber laid on thecylinder and means for removing the fiber from the cylinder,substantially as described.

In testimony whereof We have hereunto set our hands in the presence oftwo subscribiu g witnesses.
